Honestly, I don't see how Kate survived either way. Even if you pick Bay, not using your powers or changing the future based on what you know means that Kate will jump.
So as much as I liked the character, I always thought she was dead no matter what path I took.
I never "got over" it but I definitely found some coping mechanisms to process my emotions over the game. It spurred a creative renaissance for me where I was inspired to learn guitar, pick up piano again, and make some art related to the game. Learning Koethe songs on guitar and drawing the characters from the game helped me re-connect with the game when I was missing it. I would encourage you to find a creative way to channel your feelings. I still think about the game often but it is more of a constant warm presence in the back of my head these days.
Thanks, I'm not feeling any creativity right now but it's still good to hear how it helped other people.
It gets boring when you replay it like 10 times. Also you must be nostalgic over something in your past to feel this way. So maybe try to bring those things into your life, or relive them. Or maybe it's something different for you. For me I guess I see that as true love and friendship. If you care to share, maybe it would help.
I do have honest love and friendship in my life. I'm an empathetic person though, I could just relate to their pain as the story progresses, especially in E4 and E5.
As I mentioned above, I think that what really broke me was seeing Max broken in the bathroom during the wrong ending.
I stayed in this sub, checking every post for a while, until I made my post about how I was affected by the game. Something that really helped was when school picked up and I just got too busy to check. Haven’t really felt the need to visit the sub, but I still do on occasion. I played LiS for the first time last summer, and I am so glad I did. The first few weeks are always the hardest, but it goes get better
Thanks, I hope so!
You don’t.
It’s a game that stays with you.
I mean, calling it a game is doing LIS a disservice. It’s a story that will stay with you and the characters do tend to effect you in real life.
For example, I’ve seen many people say how they now gauge what they’re looking for in a friend/girlfriend by their favourite character in the game, usually ends up being Chloe lol
Time helps you get over it, like with everything important to you/shocking stuff etc.
Getting over it is the wrong phrase though imo because it’s not something you want to get over. It’s a really enjoyable story that you probably will always recall and think about every so often.
Kinda like Game of Thrones, you’ll be heavily invested in it for a long time, possibly forever but that unhealthy obsession with it does die down (Thankfully 😅) after a while.
Don’t worry, we all go through the LIS Depression haha.
Agree, the game is just the medium in which LiS touches us. I think the music and the voice acting is the biggest reason why it's so powerful.
Literally felt the same way. I’m a crazy bitch of emotions tho so ya know. I can’t even describe the feeling this game gave me! But now I love sharing it with people who have never played it & the people who never even heard of it!!! I listened to a podcast too about it. I haven’t played it in a long while but am having my boyfriend start it once we get through our list of games I made for him to play + me replay with him
I suggested my wife that we should play it together but after seeing how it affected me (I'm not usually moved by movies or TV shows at all), she refused completely.
Don't try.
I honestly don't really want to. This story and setting seeped into me so immediately and thoroughly it did something that almost never really happens to anyone over 20 - it changed my mind. And more precious to me, it actually got me off my ass to do creative writing for the first time in literally 10 years instead of just sitting around thinking I had an idea for a story and never working on it. Life is Strange moved me and overwhelmed my imagination more than anything in popular fiction I've encountered since "Buffy". This is bigger for me now than Star Trek, Star Wars... it's a big deal.
I don't know if I ever don't want to feel this way, and if how it's made you feel is anything like it made me feel, I'd strongly consider the possibility that there's nothing worth getting over it for. If there's something that's even capable of moving you this much, it won't give you a choice when it comes anyway.
That's actually amazing to hear. I'm not sure I want to get over it either.
Only started playing LiS a couple months ago. I finished BTS a couple days ago. The endings to both games hit me really hard, BTS even more so.
I'm still not fully over it. I can't look at Chloe or Max, or hear any of the dialogue without getting some sort of post-series depression or something lol. I don't even want to play LiS 2, I don't really care about anyone else but Chloe and Max. Apparently there's an official LiS comic that continues the two's story after the 'Sacrifice Arcadia Bay' ending so I'll have to look into that but yeah, it hit me hard.
This is exactly how I feel.
Comics are good, at least the fact that they're sanctioned by Square makes me feel like that's the canon finale. But I found some of the fanfic better than the comics, tbh.
You don't. When i finished the game indidnt even realize there was already a steady stream of tears pouring out of my eyes until it dripped on my lap. This game changed my life and i don't ever regret playing it.
I don't regret playing it either, even if I still want to cry sometimes when I think of it.
I think you would feel better if you found some way to process your emotions about the game. When I learn music from the game or draw the characters, I feel like I am getting to spend more time with them.
Thanks. I've always been pretty good at managing my emotions and moving on... but somehow in this case it feels like I'd be betraying a friend or something.
I mean, there's a very real difference between moving on and forgetting. If you don't think LiS fandom is helping you realize or move towards anything, then there shouldn't be a problem moving past it like you've no-doubt done to dozens upon hundreds of other songs, movies and books in your life. If your mind won't LET you move on, then it's probably trying to subconsciously tell you something.
I always say the game is equal parts nostalgia and wish fulfillment. It either makes you reflect on what you had, or tells you what you want.
There is a nostalgia factor, but I've realized that the part that hurts the most is the scene at the bathroom in the absolutely-wrong-you-should-never-pick ending. Seeing Max there just broke me.
Randomly saw this, feel free to reach out if you want any help. I'm a Michigan Alumn so it caught my attention :).
Sorry, that wasn't my point!
My intention was to give you / your developers a starting point, because the bootstrap documentation happens to also be a good accessibility documentation :)
So I just wanted to suggest it as a first reference, especially since it not only has examples for HTML Elements (Input, textarea) but also concepts (like modal dialogs, complex navigations etc.)
Hope it helps.
We had a couple of calls yesterday with BlindlyPlayingGames and SuperBlindMan. It was a very healthy dialogue with specific things that we're taking away from it. It actually seems like there were very specific changes that we made that ended up hurting overall accessibility, where other things were still performing well. Luckily many of the things we build are reused throughout the site, which means addressing some changes in one place will cascade to other places.
We also identified that we've had issues routing these reports to the right team to take care of them. We'll be working on that as well, but I am happy to extend an open offer to help direct feedback to the right teams at Twitch.
Be looking for some of the changes that were discussed on the calls to be reflected in the Creator Updates section of the dashboard.
Yeah, we've heard that feedback too. We'll probably add another quick action in the store that lets you add stream markers with titles.
Wow, thank you! I did not expect a response like this at all, and I can confirm that this guide worked without any issues on my end.
I have to add that you've done an awesome job with the new dashboard. I love the responsiveness and flexibility, and how easy it is to use without a ton of visible clutter.
You're welcome! Glad the guide worked for you!
I posted in the other thread, but I just found this one too.
I'm the Product Manager on the new Creator Dashboard, and you can reach out to me directly, I'd love to talk about this and get a better understanding. Our goal was to make this page easier to use; it's clear that we also made it harder to use as well.
I can't speak for other teams but I can promise that we will be prioritizing work for the Dashboard related to accessibility bugs and features.
I'm bad at Reddit DMs but if you ping me a Discord or a Twitter profile, I'll follow up 100%.
FWIW This hit me right in the feels.
I'm the Product Manager responsible for the new Dashboard. I'm reaching out the Brandon directly, as well as reviewing and prioritizing outstanding accessibility tickets and features.
I can't, won't, pin the blame on anyone or anything in particular; but I will promise to do better.
Thank you David, we appreciate you taking the time to write that!
yvw!
when are you making it official though
Not sure yet! Hopefully soon. It’s one of the most asked for changes.
This doesn't work if you use it as one of the new OBS UI browser sources, though. :/
It's good that it's getting a redesign, but I think a lot of streamers will want to use it through OBS at this point. There's still XSplit, SLOBS, etc, ofc.
Yeah, the new OBS features are on our minds right now. For now, you should be able to pop out individual panels you want and then including the pop out URL in OBS. If that doesn’t make sense or do quite what you want let me know.
